Student Employment
Working on campus provides a way to concentrate on your studies while earning money to pay for your educational expenses. If you are employed on campus, your employing department will work with you to accommodate your class schedule, providing you with the flexibility needed to be a successful college student. Some campus jobs may be able to provide work experience related to your intended career field.
